Scalvoris Rebirth Cycle 719

Weather

Cylus

General Weather

When Cylus (30 trials) comes to the world, the two suns disappear entirely, and the three moons take their place. And while it is a technical darkness, with the complete lack of precipitation, there is never any cloud cover during Cylus. That, coupled with the nature of being a rolling grassland with little to block out the light, Cylus is surprisingly well lit by the moons. But still, stealth and nocturnal hunters are the dominant species here, picking off animals as they search high and low for water sources.

The days grow chilly for the Yari people, especially in the earliest breaks of the trial. It never gets so cold as to freeze the land, but early morning fog and frosty breath is common. Plant life, those not corrupted by the Emean influence from the Fractures, dies off or remains dormant during this season. The Yari people spend much of this season hunting, transitioning from Zi'da's trend of focusing on gathering.

Scalvoris Specific

Long cold days leave Scalvoris in a constant state of near darkness. Living outdoors during this season is close to impossible without being very prepared due to the icy temperatures and flora and fauna suffer during this time. Throughout this season everywhere is covered in a blanket of snow and some areas are completely cut off from the rest of the island. While the days slowly tick on, the sun begins to sink to the horizon before finally being blocked by one of Idalos's slow orbiting moons. Scalvoris plunges into almost-night for the season, until the light of Ashan touches it once more. By the end of this season, drifts of snow several feet deep are a common sight.

• 1st: Heavy snow greets the trial. It stops just before the 2nd.
• 11th-14th: Temperatures drop to record lows. Livestock should be taken in and businesses are closed for these trials.
• 15th: The heavy snow returns, but in the form of a tremendous storm. Immortals Tongue appear to be skipped over. The effects last, however, for what seems like the rest of the season and people remain wary of the dipping temperatures and snow.

Ashan

General Weather

Finally, Ashan (123 trials) rolls around, and animals are desperate for that first rainfall, which usually comes around trials 40-60, and is a light one, usually a break or two, just enough of a reprieve to keep them going for a little longer. 80-123 is when rainfall is sporadic, usually once every ten trials or so. Once more, the large predators and pack hunters take the stage, and life begins to return to the plant life of Yaralon.

The morning chills of Cylus have broken and the heat begins to rise. Prior to the first rainfall of the season, the heat is quite dry and bearable. But once that first rain comes, the humidity in the region spikes, and with it, the heat.

Scalvoris Specific

The beginning of Ashan is rigidly cold on Scalvoris, starting with a cold period which lasts for a quarter of the season before the temperature finally heats up enough to begin sowing crops for the arc. The remainder of Ashan is spring weather. Barren trees slowly sprout buds of leaves and flowers and those who work the land plant in preparation once again. The 123 trials of Ashan are cold but moderate weather. As the season progresses, rain clouds become a common thing and Scalvoris experiences Ashan Storms, a common occurrence especially at the height of the season. Eventually, the storms pass and the temperature begins to heat up. As the season closes, the temperature rises, ushering in stronger storms and much hotter weather.

• 2nd: With the melting snow and fluctuating temperatures, ice is more prominent. People are advised to watch their steps.

Seasonal Context

Last cycle saw some both interesting and unfortunate events take place on Scalvoris, as well as several unsolved incidences. Advisories have been given, but the people of Scalvoris are restless in the coming darkness and cold of the cycle.

Events

Cylus

• 2nd: The snow has not yet melted and there appear to be no signs of stopping. The Order of Aldunih is soon outnumbered in short staffed as the homeless and sick begin to flood their grounds. The Order puts out a call for volunteers.

Seasonal Events

These events are typically traditions that occur each arc.

For the entirety of the cycle, The Elements and Rangers within their respective cities are making a push for recruits. For any deeper plots other than enlisting, please PM Ghoul.
